虽然他们在路上遇到了抢劫事件,但林玉婷的热情并没有减弱.相反,它变得更高了.也许是楚天在公交车上的表现让她心里更加欣喜,又或许是老太太的一句话让她心里怦怦直跳.后来,林玉婷干脆挽住了楚天的手臂,仿佛她永远不会松手.
楚天几次试图挣脱,但都无济于事,于是他放弃了.只要他没有不正当的想法,他其实并不在乎.林玉婷表现得就像一只小鸟靠在他身上.
赵玉晴无奈地摇了摇头.看来林玉婷已经对楚天失去了理智.而这个楚天,他甚至都没考虑过自己是否配得上林玉婷.
经过一个多小时的颠簸旅程,他们终于到达了天湖植物园.林玉婷开始大开大热情地解释.天湖植物园位于宜兴市东北郊区,东面山峦叠嶂,西面有水库.里面的湖面闪闪发光,绿树和凉亭在水中的倒影营造出如画的景象.更令人着迷的是里面有一座名为天发寺的寺庙.钟声全天回荡,吟经有节奏,让人感到庄重.住持孔武大师备受尊敬,对佛教有深厚的了解.不仅宜兴市的当地人经常来天湖植物园放松,到宜兴市的游客也一定会来这里,在天发寺许愿.
楚天一来到天湖植物园的门口,就感到一阵惬意,仿佛世俗的烦恼都烟消云散,心里也找到了平静.楚天,林玉婷,赵玉清加入了客流,一个接一个地进入了.本来,赵玉清很不愿意进庙烧香,觉得没什么意义.但由于林玉婷的执着坚持,他们首先朝着天发寺前进.走了半个小时,楚天终于站在了天发寺前.宏伟的寺庙沐浴在阳光下,散发着庄重和庄重的气息.在微风中,可以听到微弱的钟声和佛法吟诵.在树叶的清新香味中,还有一股淡淡的檀香.楚天深吸一口这久违的香味,开始爬上台阶.林玉婷和赵玉清手牵着手,跟在后面.他们周围的游客在台阶上上下下,他们的脸上流露出兴奋和强行庄重的混合.
就在楚天准备踏入大殿时,他的目光被台阶底部的一名朝圣者所吸引.朝圣者每走三步就鞠躬一次,他的手,脚和头撞击地面的声音表明了全心全意地叩头的意义.他身上破烂的衣服和破旧的皮手套,仿佛在无声地诉说着他走过的路程和岁月.这位朝圣者无视周围好奇的围观者,继续带着自己的信仰和理想向前迈进,虔诚地爬上台阶.他周围的空间和时间似乎静止了.没有人说话,也没有人嘲笑他.皮手套和他的额头撞击地面的声音,震撼了在场所有人的心.
赵玉清学佛学了几天,但那是因为她厌倦了奶奶每天念佛经,研究佛法是为了更好地反对它的存在.于是她用有些消极的语气说道:"我不知道这个朝圣者是执着还是固执.为了一个可能没有结果的信仰而毁掉他的身体,高灵性层次又有什么用呢?
林玉婷摇摇头,脸上露出恭敬和严肃的表情.她叹了口气,"玉晴,你太消极了!有了信念,他的生命就会擦出火花.他的生活将上升到一个新的水平,并被赋予永恒的精神.
赵玉清不置可否地笑了笑,没有争论.正如佛教徒所说,"争论就是不争论,不争论也是争论.那么她为什么要争论呢?
楚天点点头.林玉婷是对的.但他更关心的是朝圣者鞠躬的姿势,落地时身体的协调性,以及全身散发出来的力量.他越仔细观察,他的表情就越严肃.他的眼睛跟随着朝圣者的动作.当朝圣者离他大约三米远时,他们的目光微微相遇.两人都感受到了凝视背后的力量,心中怦怦直跳.楚天嘴唇微微动濑,低声道两句:"一位高手.
听到楚天说了一句"高手",林玉婷微微一愣."楚天,什么师父?"
Chu Tian couldn't explain it to Lin Yuting at that moment, so he just said perfunctorily, "I mean he must have come on a pilgrimage from a very far place. He's really an expert at pilgrimage. Let's go into the main hall and burn incense." With that, he pulled Lin Yuting and walked away in a hurry. But at the corner, he took another look at the devout pilgrim.
In the first main hall, looking at the Buddha statues, Lin Yuting also stopped her usual smiling face and showed an extremely pious expression. She reached out to take the sandalwood incense, but Chu Tian held her hand and said calmly, "Follow me."
Lin Yuting was slightly surprised but then nodded. She believed that Chu Tian must have his reasons for doing so.
Zhao Yuqing looked at Chu Tian with disdain. This guy liked to pretend to be mysterious to show off his so - called taste and attract girls' attention. Unfortunately, he met her, someone who knew a little about Buddhism. She thought he probably couldn't come up with anything new.
A monk sitting in meditation in the hall slightly opened his eyes, seemingly curious about Chu Tian's words.
Chu Tian took out three sticks of sandalwood incense, lit them with fire, gently waved them up and down to extinguish the flames, then held the incense with his thumb and index finger, closed the other three fingers, and raised the incense in both hands to the level of his eyebrows. The tips of the incense were facing the statue in the main hall. He bowed three times, then stepped forward and inserted the incense with his left hand while silently chanting in his heart, "Offer to the Buddha, offer to the Dharma, offer to the Sangha, and offer to all sentient beings." After inserting the incense, he went to the kneeling cushion in the middle of the hall, put his hands together, and bowed to the Buddha three times. Each time he bowed, he softly chanted, "Wholeheartedly bow to the Three Treasures that abide everywhere in the ten directions." Then, when kneeling with his hands together, he made a devout vow, "Vow to save the boundless sentient beings, vow to cut off the endless afflictions, vow to learn the countless Dharma gates, and vow to achieve the supreme Buddha way."
Finally, Chu Tian softly said, "May everything be well."
Lin Yuting watched Chu Tian chanting and didn't mind the many steps. She imitated him in a proper manner. When Lin Yuting finished the last sentence, "May everything be well."
Chu Tian smiled gently and said, "For the last sentence, you can say your own good wishes. You don't have to copy me exactly."
Lin Yuting smiled. "Everything being well already covers all the wishes I want to make. Otherwise, I really don't know how long I'd have to talk."
Zhao Yuqing had already finished burning incense and was standing behind Chu Tian and Lin Yuting. Seeing Chu Tian making so many rules, she was a bit impatient. If the Buddha really had spiritual power, why would there be so many procedures? And if the Buddha didn't have spiritual power, doing so many things wouldn't be heard either. Why bother? Moreover, she suspected that these rules were made up by Chu Tian to deceive Lin Yuting and make himself seem more mysterious. Otherwise, why hadn't she seen them in the Buddhist scriptures?
When Chu Tian finished the last sentence, "May everything be well," the old monk sitting in meditation next to them had fully opened his eyes. Looking at this ordinary - looking young man, he felt an otherworldly temperament faintly exuding from his bones. The old monk felt a favorable impression and wanted to get to know him.
So the old monk walked a few steps forward and stood in front of Chu Tian. He said calmly, "This benefactor is so familiar with the procedures of burning incense and worshiping. It's really rare to see such a person in ten years. I wonder if the benefactor is someone with an affinity for Buddhism?"
Chu Tian looked at the old monk, whose eyes were as calm as a still pond. He knew this was an accomplished monk and didn't dare to be disrespectful. "Master, you're too kind. I only know a little about the superficial aspects of Buddhist etiquette. I can't be called someone with an affinity for Buddhism."
The old monk remained calm. "My Dharma name is Kongjian. Meeting is a kind of fate. If the benefactor has time someday, why not come to my meditation room for a cup of fragrant tea and a chat about Buddhism?"
Chu Tian quickly nodded. "Master Kongjian, you're very kind. I'm Chu Tian. In front of you, I don't dare to talk about Buddhism casually. If there's a chance in the future, I will definitely come to visit you and listen to your teachings."
Master Kongjian smiled slightly and then left. But in his heart, he sighed. This young man is not an ordinary person. Given the right opportunities, he will soar to great heights.
Lin Yuting looked at Chu Tian with an expression of extreme admiration. Even the master took the initiative to befriend Chu Tian. She was speechless. In her heart, she used "amazing" three times in a row to express her excitement.
Zhao Yuqing was also slightly surprised. It seemed that Chu Tian wasn't just pretending. He really seemed to know something about Buddhism. But Zhao Yuqing didn't think too much of it. What was the use of knowing a bit of Buddhist etiquette? He wasn't going to become a monk, and this wasn't something tested in the college entrance examination. It was just an entertainment hobby, and it wouldn't lead to much success.
